No Share Consolidation ‐Share Structure to remain the same

June 9, 2016 Vancouver, Canada — Pacific North West Capital Corp. (“PFN”, the “Company”) (TSX.V: PFN; Frankfurt: P7J.F; OTCQB: PAWEF – Mr. Harry Barr, Chairman and CEO noted that to better reflect the Company’s business plan and with the addition of a second “Green Metal Division” the Board of Directors of PFN have approved a name change of the Company, from Pacific North West Capital to “NewAge Metals Inc.” The website NewAgeMetals.com is near completion. There will be no change to the corporate structure (ie: no share consolidation) and in the meantime the Company will continue to aggressively pursue its business plan. The name change will be subject to regulatory approval and is anticipated to be completed within 90 days.

In April 2016 the Company added a Lithium Division, Lithium Canada Development Inc. (LI Canada) to its’ Platinum Group Metal Division (PGMD). In the U.S., the Company is expanding and developing its lithium division; the Board believes NewAge Metals Inc. better reflects the Go Forward Plan for the Company.

About The Company’s Lithium Division

The company’s new Lithium Division will focus on the acquisition, exploration and development of Lithium Projects in Canada. In the United States the company will use its wholly owned U.S.A subsidiary to acquire and develop projects in active mining camps in Nevada, Arizona and California.

Management believes that these new age metals, Lithium, PGM’s and Rare Earths, have robust macro trends with surging demands and limited supply. Going forward, this new division will explore for the minerals needed to fuel the demand for energy storage and other core 21st Century Technologies.

The company has a growing portfolio of lithium projects. The Clayton Valley Forks Li Project in Nevada is a recent lithium brine project acquired by the company (PFN News Releases April 25th, 2016 and May 9th, 2016). The company also has hard rock lithium projects in Canada.

Lithium and Platinum group metal prices have improved dramatically in recent months. Lithium supplies remain in deficit relative to their demand. Both metals groups are used for the expanding worldwide automobile industry (conventional and electric). In the case of PGM’s, demand is increasing for autocatalysts, a key component for reducing toxic emissions for automotive, gasoline and diesel engines. In regards to Lithium, there is an ever increasing demand for batteries in cellphones, laptops, electric cars, solar storage, wireless charging and renewable energy products.

About the Company’s Platinum Group Metals Division

Achievements to date and future plans for River Valley are outlined below as follows:

PFN currently has 100% ownership in the River Valley Project, subject to a 3% NSR, with options to buy down

Completed exploration and development programs on the River Valley property include more than 600 holes drilled since year 2000 and several mineral resource estimates and metallurgical studies;

Results for the current (2012) mineral resource estimate are below;

2015 drill program confirms new high grade T2 discovery

Exploration and development plans outlined for 2016

Ongoing strategic partner search for River Valley project

Results for the most recent Metallurgical Testwork Study are summarized below:

Prepared by Tetra Tech (Wardrop)

High Confidence: Measured plus Indicated = 72% of total

Reported on PdEq basis: Pd=40% & Pt=20% of the payable metals

Pd to Pt ratio = 2.5:1; Cu to Ni ratio = 3:1

High Grade potential, particularly in the north part of River Valley deposit

Resources under evaluation for development potential as open pit mining operation

Results for the 2015 discovery drill program on the T2 target are as follows:

Drill hole intercepts much higher than the average grade of current mineral resource estimate

Possible new mineralized zone at the north end of the River Valley deposit

Show potential to take the River Valley PGM Project in a new direction

More drilling required

Exploration and Development Plans for 2016

Mineral prospecting and geological mapping on surface

Drill programs targeted to add more higher grade

Geological interpretation and 2D/3D modelling of all drill and surface results

Application to the OPA’s Junior Exploration Assistance Program (JEAP) for 33% refund of all exploration expenditures up to $300,000.
